15 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat

18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and

19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred

20 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and

21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat

22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah

23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and

25 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years,

31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy
and seven years: and he died.
32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat
Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Adam to Seth 130 years
Seth to Enos 105 years
Enos to Cainan 90 years
Cainan to Mahalaleel 70 years
Mahalaleel to Jared 65 years
Jared to Enoch 162 years
Enoch to Methuselah 65 years,
Methuselah to Lamech 187 years
Lamech to Noah 182 years
Noah to Shem, Ham, and Japheth 500 years
This gives us a total of 1556 years from creation to Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Now given the fact that odds are that none of the sons were born on their father’s birthday; though not impossible but unlikely; so the son’s birthdays would average six months from their father’s birthday resulting in a additional time of 5 years +/- 5 years. This gives us a time from creation to Shem, Ham, and Japheth of 1561 years +/- 5 years.
At the point since Adam was created on day six of creation, meaning that we have perhapse six more days here but six day well within the magin of error of +/- 5 years
